Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation Trailer 2

Trending News: This New MI Trailer Feels Like A Cool Throwback To The First Movie

Why Is This Important?

Is there any action star more reliable than Tom Cruise?

Long Story Short

After the M:I 2 and M:I 3 hiccups, Tom Cruise's action franchise looks stronger than ever. This new trailer stirs up some old emotions that we haven't felt since the first M:I came out almost 20 years ago.

Long Story

The first Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation trailer premiered over two months ago and we've been eager to see more footage from the upcoming action blockbuster. I mean, seriously, what better defines an action movie than Tom Cruise and Tom Cruise running.

The new trailer starts with one of the set pieces that makes the M:I franchise so great: The IMF's Ethan Hunt needs to break into an unbreakable room. From there, we get car chases, explosions and worried looks from Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg).

We also get a few more seconds of Alec Baldwin who is playing a government official who works to shutdown the super secret organization that Hunt and co. work for.

The shuttering of the IMF, of course, opens the door for the Rogue Nation — the anti-IMF — to do their evil things.

That means Hunt and the gang will be going double rogue on the rogue nation. Classic.

The trailer is full of insane action sequences, including a shot of Tom Cruise's character hanging onto the side of a plane as it takes off, but that's not the craziest action scene: It's the underwater scene from the beginning of the trailer when Cruise had to hold his breath for six and half minutes. Yes, you read that right.

According to USA TODAY, Cruise trained extensively to be able to shoot uncut scenes underwater and in order to do that he had to hold his breath for six to six and half minutes.

"We [Cruise and director, Christopher McQuarrie] wanted to create a suspense underwater sequence without cuts. So doing that sequence was really interesting. We’re underwater and we’re doing breath-holds of 6 to 61/2 minutes. So I was doing all my training with the other stuff (on-set). It was very taxing stuff."

Tom Cruise is truly the last great action hero.
